Fox News Claims Obama Breaking Norms by Criticizing Trump: After former President Barack Obama went on the campaign trail last week, Fox News analysts have begun bitterly complaining that Obama is “breaking norms” by criticizing President Trump.

My question is, exactly what “norms” do they perceive possibly exist under this president? Didn’t the Republicans throw any pretense of “normal” out the window when they elected Trump? But come on, a Trump supporter complaining about another president violating “long-standing norms” — with a straight face? That’s especially precious when you consider nearly every other word out of Trump’s mouth for the past two years has been “Obama.”

And as far as norms are concerned, what norms could they be referring to anyway? The norms of slavery, the norms before child labor laws, the norms before women had the right to vote, or the norms of the Jim Crow South? And even if Obama happened to break a few “norms” — wouldn’t you rather have a president who breaks a few norms — than a president who breaks laws?
